The Heavenly Broad Creed Palm was a supreme martial art created by the founder of Broad Creed Mountain from the legacies of their predecessors of pre-Great Calamity times.
In terms of origin, it was a relatively incomplete variant of the Flipping Sky Seal.
If there were other martial arts that similarly originated from the Cyclic Heavenly Seal, they might also look similar to the Heavenly Broad Creed Palm.
Still, Yan Zhaoge could not help but think a little more about it now.
Bai Ziming should not have been to the Eight Extremities World before. In the World beyond Worlds, there was only him, Yan Zhaoge, who knew the Heavenly Broad Creed Palm.
Then, where had Bai Ziming seen others executing the Heavenly Broad Creed Palm before?
Yan Zhaoge's gaze hardened as he looked earnestly at Bai Ziming, "I wonder where, and with whom, Mister Bai, have you seen this palm art of mine before?"
Bai Ziming could feel that Yan Zhaoge's attitude had become solemn without any concealment at all.
Therefore, he said solemnly, "Little Friend Yan should already know that this old man is not someone of the World beyond Worlds."
"The world that I originally resided in was known as the Floating Gate World. After this old man refined his acupoints to see Divinity, I ascended from the Floating Gate World and came to this World beyond Worlds."
Yan Zhaoge nodded slowly. It was precisely because he knew this that many guesses had arisen within his heart.
Then Bai Ziming continued, "When I was in the Jambu Realm, this old man once saw someone who could overturn the heavens with a single hand. His palm force enveloped the surroundings. It was majestic and extraordinary."
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, he said, "This person calls himself Yuan Zhengfeng, one-armed. A few years ago, he suddenly appeared in my Floating Gate Sect. This old man included, everyone guessed that he came from another world."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
It really was his Grand Master, the long-lost old Chief of Broad Creed Mountain, Yuan Zhengfeng!
Back then, in order to suppress the crack of the Nine Nether in the Earth Domain, Yuan Zhengfeng was lost in the turbulence of time and space. Since then, his whereabouts were unknown, and his fate was unknown.
This matter became a sore point for everyone in Broad Creed Mountain, Yan Zhaoge included.
Although everyone comforted each other, saying that the old Sect Master would definitely be blessed by the Heavens, there was no news at all, and they were still worried.
This was especially so when there were no clues. Even if he wanted to search for it, he had no idea where to start. Yan Zhaoge could only sigh helplessly.
Now that there was finally news of him, Yan Zhaoge's heart that had been hanging in the air all this while could finally be put at ease.
He looked at Bai Ziming and said, "Allow Sir Bai to know that the person you speak of is precisely a senior of this Yan's lineage. We were previously separated from each other, and we have never been able to find any clues."
Bai Ziming said, "It is indeed so. Rest easy, Little Friend Yan. While Mister Yuan lost an arm, that was a matter of my Jambu Gate Sect."
"In the Jambu Realm, he was fine. Later on, he became a guest elder of a large sect in the Jambu Realm. At least before this old man ascended, his life was fine."
Yan Zhaoge nodded slowly, "That's good."
As Bai Ziming spoke, he sighed. "Speaking of which, although this Mister Yuan has lost an arm, his cultivation and skills are still not to be underestimated."
"This old man has met him a few times before. I've seen him fight with others, so I was able to recognize Little Friend Yan's palm technique."
Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands towards Bai Ziming, "I wonder if Mister Bai has any way of ascertaining the location of that Floating Gate World that you were born in? This Yan wishes to make a trip to the Jambu Kingdom. Is that convenient? "
Bai Ziming answered, "It will be a little difficult. Still, I can try."
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, he asked, "Is Little Friend Yan in a hurry to see Mister Yuan?"
Yan Zhaoge answered emotionally, "To tell you the truth, it is precisely so."
Bai Ziming smiled, "Then, Little Friend Yan, there is actually no need to be in a hurry. Who knows when you might be able to meet again in the World beyond Worlds."
"When this old man ascended, I once invited fellow daoists of the Jambu World to attend the ceremony. This Mister Yuan was present as well. This old man observed that he was only a half-step away from refining his acupoints to see Divinity."
"Back then, I even joked that he would most likely be the next person to ascend in the Jambu Kingdom after this old man."
Hearing this, Yan Zhaoge was taken aback, "Oh?"
After pondering for a moment, Yan Zhaoge asked Bai Ziming about the timeflow of the Floating Gate World and the World beyond Worlds before comparing it to the timeflow of the Eight Extremities World.
After the comparison, Yan Zhaoge could not help but wonder, "Grand Master has already reached the peak of the third level of the Martial Saint realm, the late Merging Avatar stage, so quickly?"
While his father, Yan Di, had surpassed his father, his Grand Master Yuan Zhengfeng's talent and strength were similarly outstanding.
Due to his old injuries, Yuan Zhengfeng had remained in the Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster realm for a very long time.
While this was something that could not be helped, it had also allowed him to accumulate extremely abundant accumulations, his path having been smooth after Transcending Mortality and entering Sainthood.
Yan Zhaoge did not doubt in the slightest that if not for the simultaneous upheavals in the East Sea and the Earth Domain that year, Yuan Zhengfeng would have been confident of attaining the second level of the Martial Saint realm, the mid Merging Avatar stage, very soon.
The difficulty of this would have been far lower than that of Huang Guanglie that year.
After all, Yuan Zhengfeng's talent and strength had already surpassed Huang Guanglie's in the first place.
Still, if one were to say that Yuan Zhengfeng had reached the peak of the third level of the Martial Saint realm within a few short years, even being able to attempt a breakthrough into the Seeing Divinity stage and soar into the Martial Saint realm, wouldn't this be a little too fast and unexpected?
After all, not everyone could improve as rapidly as Yan Zhaoge's Northern Ocean Clone.
The Northern Ocean Clone being able to make a great leap in three short years, breaking through space and seeing true Divinity had been a result of many factors, with many fortuitous encounters being involved.
In other words, this was an occasional case that could not be used as a standard to judge the majority.
Just look at the Purple Sun Martial Saint Zhang Chao of the Sacred Sun Clan of the Eight Extremities World that year.
Or perhaps it was that descendant of Shen Lingzi who had been in charge of escorting the Heaven Bearing Ceremonial Fragrance, the Earth Ocean Lung Crystals and those other treasures back then, only to have been intercepted and slain by Yan Zhaoge in the end.
That old man was of the same generation as Kang Ping and Madame Kang, his age and seniority both being higher than Kang Maosheng and Kang Jinyuan. Still, like the Kang brothers, he was also at the third level of the Martial Saint realm, the late Merging Avatar stage.
Even in the World beyond Worlds, it would not be an easy thing for an outstanding, powerful martial practitioner to advance from the first level of the Martial Saint realm, the early Merging Avatar stage, to the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, the early Seeing Divinity stage.
Bai Ziming's evaluation of Yuan Zhengfeng being likely to attempt a breakthrough into the Seeing Divinity stage within a short period of time implied that Yuan Zhengfeng was already no longer simply at the late Merging Avatar stage. Instead, he was already standing at a critical point.
"Perhaps there is some special reason?" Thinking along these lines, Yan Zhaoge said to Bai Ziming, "After ascending, I still cannot be certain where I will land. I hope that Mister Bai can point out the path for me so that this Yan can head to the Floating Gate Sect more quickly."
Bai Ziming nodded, "That is naturally fine. It is just that this old man cannot guarantee its accuracy. If this old man can personally return to the Floating Gate Sect, I will be able to establish a path for you. Now, you can only depend on yourself, Little Friend Yan."
Yan Zhaoge exhaled slowly, "I will be troubling you, Mister Bai."
Bai Ziming retrieved a jade pendant, handing it to Yan Zhaoge. Yan Zhaoge received it, infusing his true essence within as per Bai Ziming's instructions.
Jade green mist instantly arose from the jade pendant. (To be continued.)
